Direct link to the simtel DOS dirs via HTTP ....

http://ftp.nluug.nl/simtel/msdos/

Direct link to the simtel DOS dirs via FTP ....

ftp://ftp.bu.edu/pub/mirrors/simtelnet/msdos/

In both cases.... simply click on the directory name to change to that
directory and then click on the filename to download that file.

Insight.exe version 4.6;ML is included in Arachne version 1.90;J1

Insight.exe version 4.7;ML is included in Arachne version 1.95lGPL

To 'upgrade' to the newer version of insight.exe....
simply copy the new version over into the 1.90:J1 directory right
over top of the old version.

Like so..........

copy c:\a195gpl\insight.exe c:\a190j1\
